JAKARTA - Manchester United ended 2025 with disappointing results in the English Premier League match. Playing at home at Old Trafford Stadium, Wednesday, December 31, 2025 WIB early morning, Man Utd failed to win after being held to a draw by Wolverhampton Wanderers 1-1. The bad result made Man Utd the target of boos from their own supporters.
Man Utd again failed to take advantage of the opportunity to break into the Champions League zone. During the first half of the competition, Man Utd always tried to get into the top. However, they find it difficult to compete with Arsenal, Manchester City and Liverpool.
While the elite teams can always win, Man Utd finds it difficult to maintain their position on the winning track. The team coached by Ruben Amorim has indeed scored a hattrick of victories. However, the effort to win the fourth victory ultimately failed.
Likewise, when entering the festival period, Man Utd picked up an unsatisfactory result. How not, they failed to win at home again after being held by Bournemouth 4-4. After losing 1-0 to Aston Villa, Senne Lammens et al finally won a narrow 1-0 over Newcastle United.
The victory over The Magpies is actually an important capital for Man Utd when they return to acting as hosts by welcoming Wolves who occupy the bottom of the standings.
So, on paper it's not difficult for Man Utd to get three points. In fact, Man Utd is very favored because in the first meeting at home to Wolves at Molineux, they won big 4-1.
However, the 20-time Premier League champions disappointingly failed to meet the target. In that match, Amorim indeed could not field the best squad due to the loss of Bryan Mbeumo and Amad Diallo who appeared in the Africa Cup of Nations.
Captain Bruno Fernandes and midfielder Mason Mount, who have recently been in the best form, are also absent due to injury.
However, they still managed to start the match very well and took the lead. Striker Joshua Zirkzee managed to break the deadlock after breaking Wolves' goal in the 27th minute.
The goal was created after the left foot of the Dutch national team player hit the Wolves player's body before turning in a direction that fooled goalkeeper Jose Sa.
After taking the lead 1-0, Man Utd continued to play offensively. Forward Benjamin Sesko also got a good chance to increase the lead. Unfortunately, Sesko's header still hit the crossbar.
Despite putting pressure and winning in ball possession, the Red Devils failed to maintain the lead.
Towards the end of the first half, Lammens' goal was conceded through a header from defender Ladislav Krejci. The goal, which was created in the 45th minute, changed the score to 1-1 and lasted until halftime.
Entering the second half, Man Utd continued to show aggression in the attacking game. Unfortunately, their efforts did not bear fruit.
Man Utd actually managed to break the opponent's goal in injury time. However, midfielder Patrick Dorgu failed to create an 'Amorim Time' moment because his goal was annulled. As a result, the team became the target of boos from their own supporters who were frustrated with their performance.
How not, so angry with Man Utd's game, fans even shouted, "Attack, attack, attack." The reason is that there is no attack that endangers the Wolves goal.
Instead, Wolves fans seemed to taunt by singing, "We got a point." Yes, Wolves finally got a point since being managed by Rob Edwards.
Only, Wolves are still buried at the bottom of the table with three points. Although the competition is still long, Wolves are predicted to be relegated.
Meanwhile, Man Utd failed to enter the Champions League zone and was stuck in sixth place with 30 points. The same as Chelsea who also failed to win after being held by Bournemouth 2-2. However, Chelsea has a goal difference so they occupy fifth place.
